Dancing with the Stars Peta Murgatroyd’s life is similar to many other working moms. She tries to balance after-school activities for her son Shai, a happy marriage, her own business, and performing on the Disney+ series. Add a second pregnancy, and the pro dancer has her hands full. Showbiz CheatSheet recently spoke to the Peta Jayne Beauty founder for a frank discussion about balancing it all and the grace to get through the day when things don’t go as planned.

“Dancing with the Stars” judge Derek Hough holds the record for the most championships among professional dancers. He won the Mirror Ball Trophy six times over the course of his run on the show. That’s even more remarkable when you consider that no other pro dancer on the show has ever won more than two. It’s unlikely that anyone will come close to that record before the show ultimately runs its course — whenever that will be — but this season there are multiple double winners who could finally achieve that elusive hat trick.

“Dancing with the Stars” will hoof its way to its 30th season this fall. Who would’ve thought 16 years ago that this little six-week summer show would make it to the big 3-0? But here we are. Scroll down for everything we know about the milestone installment so far.
Debuting in 2005, “DWTS” pairs an amateur celebrity contestant with a professional dance partner who teaches them routines in styles ranging from waltz to salsa to contemporary. Those dances are scored by a panel of judges, but those scores only make up half of the results. Who advances to the next round — and who ultimately wins the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy — is half determined by the judges’ scores and half by the votes of viewers watching at home.

As we saw last week, Blake learns that "it's not over," and gets to give Bob a sexy hug at his house.
Things aren't so lovey-dovey back at camp. The three teams meet up on the field, where Alison tells them they've officially reached the halfway point. Oh, and also Damien broke his arm or something? He has a sling, which he says is due to a boxing injury. Why didn't they show that on camera? Anyway, they'll be coached by NFL athletes this episode. The Red Team is assigned Michael Irvin, who played with the Dallas Cowboys and is a three time Superbowl champion. The White Team will be coached by Donald Driver, who does a funky dance before announcing that he's from the Green Bay Packers. Willie McGinest is up next, and like the rest of the crew, he's won a lot of Superbowls. Also, he knows Damien!

The NFL and the effects of concussions on its former players have been hot topics as of late, especially since the PBS documentary "League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis" aired last month.
At the August 2013 TCA press tour, NFL hall-of-fame linebacker Harry Carson said that he doesn't want his grandson to play football.
"I have a 3-year-old grandson and I've told his mom, my daughter, that he's not gonna play football. ... Knowing what I know now, I do not want him to play," says Carson.
But former NFL wide receiver Donald Driver had a different opinion on "The View" Friday morning (Nov. 8).
"[My son] plays football now and I will let him continue to play football as long as he wants to play," says Driver. "It is dangerous, but the only way it stops is if you completely take football out of sports and that's not gonna happen. It's a billion-dollar company.

Donald Driver took the mirror ball trophy home in Season 14 of "DWTS" and third place pro Cheryl Burke says he's fantastic. Zap2it chatted with Burke right after the winners were announced, where she told us how she felt about his win.
"Football players have such a huge fan base," she says. "Donald, I even said it in the package, he hasn't peaked yet, and he really just went out there and did everything he could and has such a great attitude about the whole thing."
We asked her where partner William Levy was. It turns out his adorable little boy was crying. "That's why he's not here with me," she says. "He is consoling him, he was so hurt and just wanted daddy to win." The shot they showed of him on the screen was heartbreaking and when he appeared later in the ballroom, he was still in tears.

Katherine Jenkins may have come in second in the finale of "DWTS," but she's number one with a large portion of America. She's always classy on the press line and had nothing but lovely things to say about champion Donald Driver. She may not have won, but she's now America's sweetheart and she's sure to shine in anything she does, including her next gig, singing -- by request -- for Queen Elizabeth II for her Jubilee celebration.
Zap2it caught up with Jenkins right after the show, where she told us how she feels about her ranking, what she's doing next and how she wants to put on weight.
We asked Jenkins about her favorite moments. She not only tells us about the dance, but her favorite moment of the night was adorable. "I loved our Jive and our Argentine tango. Learning those were brilliant. Oh, and this little girl!

Donald Driver took home the mirror ball on the finale of 'DWTS' Season 14. His freestyle and incredible speed gave him the edge and he was glowing when Zap2it spoke to him in the ballroom right after his win.
Donald's family was in the audience every week and he always says he couldn't do anything he's done without them. We asked him about how important the support of his wife and kids have been. He says, "I have been thinking about that and how I want to thank her and my kids and she said she wanted to take a trip, so we are going to take a Disney trip as a family and spend much time together. I think that's what you have to do because my family stood beside me the whole time."

That's a wrap on Season 14 of "Dancing With the Stars." It's been an emotional road, but finally, the victors have been crowned.
Congratulations are in order for Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd!
The finalists -- Donald and Peta, William Levy and Cheryl Burke, Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas -- had only 24 hours to prepare a new routine today, adding a sense of urgency to the episode.
Last night, William and Cheryl came in with a 59/60, losing just one point on their freestyle and getting a perfect score for their cha-cha. They tied with Donald and Peta, who got a 29/30 for their Argentine tango, and a perfect score on freestyle. Katherine and Mark, of course, got perfect scores on both their paso doble and their freestyle, surprising no one, as she's been an early front runner.

They did some spectacular and dangerous lifts and throws. Driver says it was fun, but a bit wild. "No mats, she's crazy! She's beyond crazy. She told me this week that she was going to throw everything at me and we were going to nail it. She had some lifts in there, that I was like, shaking my head like maybe not, maybe so. At the end of the day, we had to leave it all there and the floor."
The music, picked by fellow pro and last season's champion Karina Smirnoff, was right up Driver's alley. He seemed to be having a blast and certainly appeared...

William Levy looked like a pro on the dance floor May 7, but the other five remaining contestants weren't far behind him. Tomorrow's double elimination is going to be the hardest yet! William and Cheryl Burke's Foxtrot was flawless, which puts him right up there with Katherine Jenkins and Maria Menounos in our book. That said, Disney star Roshon Fegan -- who's been at risk of being cut the last few weeks -- more than held his own, receiving a score of 29! To top the night off, the contestants danced in the show's first-ever threesome round with two dance pros and a star, which was actually really entertaining. Katherine took the highest honors for that round. Check out the scores for tonight below: William Levy...

Early Tuesday (Feb. 28) morning, the "Dancing with the Stars" Season 14 cast was revealed and filled with familiar faces: "Little House on the Prairie" star Melissa Gilbert, "View" co-host Sherri Shepherd and even tennis great Martina Navratilova. Also on the list, Green Bay Packer Donald Driver.
The 37-year-old wide receiver is the latest in a long string of NFL-ers to compete for the mirrorball trophy. His predecessors -- Emmitt Smith (Season 3 winner), Hines Ward (Season 12 winner), Chad Ochocinco, Lawrence Taylor and Jerry Rice -- all did well, so he's got big dancing shoes to fill.
Driver is a 13-year veteran of the Packers who has a busy philanthropic life, too. The Donald Driver Foundation helps sick children with unmanageable hospital bills and housing for the homeless. He's also the author of three children's books, the football-themed "Quickie Handles a Loss," "Quickie Makes the Team" and "Quickie Goes to the Big Game.
